* Please note that this lens does not provide auto focus with the FD-40X, so the zoom ring is required for
manual control the focus.
** Please note that there are 3 different kinds of Nikon 105mm lenses.
General Remarks:
1. Lenses which were found compatible with the standard lens port weren’t tested with any other port based
on the assumption that the housing always comes with the standard lens port.
2. Zoom Lenses weren't tested in ports which offer no zoom control.
3. Lenses maximum length, noted on the second column of the table, refers to the lens's length when zoom
and focus rings are fully extended.
